  2. Acceleration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acceleration

    The true acceleration at time t is found in the limit as time interval Δt → 0 of Δv/Δt. An object's average acceleration over a period of time is its change in velocity , Δ v {\displaystyle \Delta \mathbf {v} } , divided by the duration of the period, Δ t {\displaystyle \Delta t} .

  3. Jerk (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerk_(physics)

    Discontinuities in acceleration do not occur in real-world environments because of deformation, quantum mechanics effects, and other causes. However, a jump-discontinuity in acceleration and, accordingly, unbounded jerk are feasible in an idealized setting, such as an idealized point mass moving along a piecewise smooth, whole continuous path ...

    acceleration: meter per second squared (m/s 2) magnetic flux density also called the magnetic field density or magnetic induction tesla (T), or equivalently, weber per square meter (Wb/m 2) capacitance: farad (F) heat capacity: joule per kelvin (J⋅K −1) constant of integration: varied depending on context

  5. Equations of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equations_of_motion

    Trajectory of a particle with initial position vector r 0 and velocity v 0, subject to constant acceleration a, all three quantities in any direction, and the position r(t) and velocity v(t) after time t. The initial position, initial velocity, and acceleration vectors need not be collinear, and the equations of motion take an almost identical ...

  7. Notation for differentiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notation_for_differentiation

    If location y is a function of t, then ˙ denotes velocity [14] and ¨ denotes acceleration. [15] This notation is popular in physics and mathematical physics. It also appears in areas of mathematics connected with physics such as differential equations.

    Snap, [6] or jounce, [2] is the fourth derivative of the position vector with respect to time, or the rate of change of the jerk with respect to time. [4] Equivalently, it is the second derivative of acceleration or the third derivative of velocity, and is defined by any of the following equivalent expressions: = ȷ = = =.

  9. List of equations in classical mechanics - Wikipedia

    Unprimed quantities refer to position, velocity and acceleration in one frame F; primed quantities refer to position, velocity and acceleration in another frame F' moving at translational velocity V or angular velocity Ω relative to F. Conversely F moves at velocity (—V or —Ω) relative to F'. The situation is similar for relative ...
